I’m here writing this today to just kind of give an example of a good facility with people that actually care about us getting better. Now I’m not going to tell you that it is 100% flawless, I say this from a lot of experience that there is no such thing! But I assure you that for someone like me, this is the best. I came here such a broken-down man with no self-confidence or self-esteem after 50 overdoses and 9 heart attacks and now I have put myself back in school to get my high school diploma and I’m even going further than that. I will be the first in my entire bloodline with a college education! So, if yourself or a loved one is struggling with this demon do you really want to change and better yourself? If so, reach out to these people. I absolutely trust them to help anyone I care about or love.
Sincerely,
A Very Grateful Client
